Here are packages of software that I use regularly.

The fprint project aims to plug a gap in the Linux desktop: support for consumer fingerprint reader devices.

http://reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page

fprint_demo is a simple GTK+ application to demonstrate and test libfprint's capabilities. It is written in C and licensed under the GNU GPL v2.

It provides access to many of the features offered by the backing library, libfprint.

libfprint is an open source software library designed to make it easy for application developers to add support for consumer fingerprint readers to their software.

Features:
* Written in C
* Licensed as LGPL-2.1
* Depends on libusb for USB communication and glib
* Primarily developed for linux, but should be fairly portable
* Offers a single API to application developers to access the entire range of supported devices
* Supports imaging - downloading live fingerprint scans from the device
* Includes image processing/matching code
* Supports enrollment/verification - enrolling a print from a known user, and then later comparing a live scan to the enrolled print

pam_fprint is a simple PAM module which uses libfprint's fingerprint processing and verification functionality for authentication. In other words, instead of seeing a password prompt, you're asked to scan your fingerprint.

pam_fprint is a proof-of-concept, and also my-first-PAM-module. It has some deficiencies:

* Can't be configured in any way.
* Finds the first enrolled fingerprint that can be verified on a device that is currently plugged in, and uses that one and only that one.
* Reads enrolled fingerprints from users home directories.
o It will only work when trying to authenticate your own user account (as you can read your own home directory), or in the system login prompt (which runs as root).
o You cannot authenticate yourself as another user, since you don't have access to read that user's home directory.

pam_fprint is an open source project, licensed under the GNU GPL v2.

G15composer is a scriptable command interface to the libg15render drawing functions that outputs to a G15daemon screen

The G15daemon is a userspace driver/multiplexer for the keyboard and its LCD, using libg15 for low-level keyboard control. Some of the features of g15daemon are:
1.Allows all extra G15 keys to be used in applications.
2.It allows for multiple simultaneous LCD clients.
3.Virtualises the LCD, the user can select which application is displayed with a simple keypress.
4.Clients talk to the daemon via a simple protocol.
5.Client applications have full control over LCD backlight and contrast.
6.Perl and Python bindings are available in the archive.
7.Lcdproc 5.1 contains a driver to talk to the daemon.
8.A patch is available in the archive for version 1.3 of libgraphlcd, which allows any application using graphlcd to now use the keyboard's LCD via the daemon. [The SVN version of graphlcd now includes the driver this patch provided].
9.Shell scripts can talk to the daemon via g15composer.
10.G15daemon now has Mac OS X support. Check out the download section for some binary files. A Mac OS X howto is also available (Thanks to Fabrizio Sestito).

A simple macro recording/playback applet for G15daemon. As well as macro recording and playback,it also enables 3 separate key 'palettes' for hotkeys, selectable via the M1-3 keys.

The libg15 library gives applications low-level access to the keyboard. G15Daemon requires it to be installed. It uses libusb for access to the usb bus.

libg15render is a small graphics library optimised for displaying on an LCD display.
